And doing it My Way. Little Syd. We did it darling See you soon London NEVER GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR’.

Last week, Lizzie cut a chic figure in a green velvet jumpsuit as she enjoyed a girls’ day out at London’s Sheesh restaurant. 

The former wife of footballer Jason Cundy styled her blonde tresses up in a messy updo and further accessorised with rose-toned shades. 

Meanwhile, her pal Anthea Turner, 64, wrapped up warm in a padded black coat and leather-look leggings. 

The duo were in London celebrating their pals Claire Caudwell and Lisa Tchenguiz’s birthday. 

Claire, who is the former partner of Phones4U billionaire John Caudwell, looked effortlessly chic as she wrapped up warm in a Louis Vuitton monogrammed scarf and black coat. 

Lizzie’s outing comes after she showcased her chic sense of style while out and about in London last week after calling out Keir Starmer on the Jeremy Vine Show for targeting ‘hard-working’ pensioners.

Earlier in the day, Lizzie appeared on Jeremy Vine & Storm Huntley on 5 alongside Daryl Morris to discuss whether pensioners should downsize their homes. 

The latest English Housing Survey suggests that baby boomer homeowners have multiple unused rooms, while younger generations are forced into cramped rentals. 

Over 10 million homes in England have at least two unused bedrooms, many owned by those over 65. 

The discussion began with the housing crisis in the UK and whether pensioners should consider downsizing. 

Storm posed the question: ‘There’s this idea that asking older people to move out of the homes that their families have grown up in is taboo it’s not allowed, but should it be?’ 

Lizzie responded firmly: ‘I think this is a dreadful idea. I’ve got to be honest. Pensioners work hard all their lives. It seems this government is attacking pensioners left right and centre.’ 

‘You know it’s always the baby boomers Starmer seems to be going for. They have worked hard all their lives, they shouldn’t even have to consider this.’ 

Lizzie didn’t hold back in criticising the Prime Minister, adding: ‘Starmer needs to sort his own house out first. Look at the migration problem, look at the housing problem, and look at everything else that’s going on in this country.’

She added: ‘Don’t put it on to the pensioners, I really think this is really unfair.’ 

Storm then asked: ‘What if the government, instead of, because as Daryl says nobody wants to force people out of their house, but what about putting incentives in place, would you not like that?’

She added: ‘For example, reducing stamp duty or scrapping stamp duty for the over 65’s?’ 

Lizzie replied: ‘Look, I think we’ve got to look at this whole housing crisis. Generally, Starmer, I think he lives in a fantasy world and sprinkled with a heavy dose of poor judgement.’ 

‘Look what he’s doing with all of the green and the tax hikes on landlords. No one wants to be a landlord here anymore.’ 

‘People are leaving their homes. they’re not wanting to stay here with the mᴀssive taxes that are happening.’ 

She continued: ‘It’s pushing up rents, the whole housing crisis is like a stagnation, it really is, and I think to put it on pensioners, even to suggest this, is disgraceful.’ 

‘In my eyes, they shouldn’t be paying inheritance tax, they’ve got all of that. I think it’s dreadful.’ 

Lizzie concluded: ‘He always goes for the soft target Starmer, and this is one of them.’ before the trio answered calls from the public to hear their thoughts on the housing crisis.
